As response continues to pour in to the New Rules of Driving, one of the complaints I received hit particularly close to home.

"How about the people opposite you at a red light who make the left turn in front of you immediately at the change to green, even though you have the right of way because you are going straight?"

I do this routinely if several cars are lined up across from me, no cars are flying through the yellow light in the other direction and the person across from me isn't hitting the gas. I always offer a cheery wave as I'm turning, suggesting it was the other person's idea to let me through, which it sometimes was. Among other things, this clears the way for people behind me to get through before the light changes, which helps avoid long backups.

As this example suggests, not all these driving concerns are slam-dunks. So don't be surprised if you see one of your driving behaviors turn up as someone else's pet peeve.

To quickly review, I ran a funny collection of reader John Winder's satirical new rules of the road, and struck a chord with many readers, who inundated me with their own complaints. I've already run one column of their responses and promised this follow-up.

Understand that I take no credit for these. One voice-mailer praised my wit, and I felt guilty, since the real authors deserved the credit.

I know I could keep this going for months, but I'll probably start using some occasionally on my blog at themorningcall.com rather than continue using them exclusively in columns. For one thing, many of the submissions contain the same concerns, albeit presented in different ways. I've tried to stick with the ones that are written in Winder's style, and I probably have one more column of those left for later this month.

One woman focused on rules for pedestrians, in response to my complaint that many drivers don't respect crosswalks. While some of them resonated with me, a few of her complaints struck me as overly … impatient, but you can judge for yourselves. Her list included:

• "When out for a jog or walk with your friend, if the sidewalk seems too narrow or bumpy, spread out two or three wide in the street with your back to the traffic; even better, with ear buds and a cellphone going. Be sure to glare or mouth expletives at any driver who honks to get you to move over, or worse, rolls down the window to remind you of the state highway code which specifies pedestrians should walk facing traffic when not on sidewalks. For their own safety."

• "Whether there is a crosswalk or not, saunter across the road and don't bother to look before crossing, since all drivers can be relied upon to prefer not hitting you to being cited for vehicular homicide (not!). Be sure to wear your PJ bottoms and bunny slippers so you can only shuffle lest the slippers fall off."

• "If you are a school crossing guard, hold up the intersection for kids and parents who are still straggling toward you from halfway down the block. And kids and parents — it IS your right to saunter vs pick up the tempo a bit for the rest of us who are trying to get to work."

• "When you are putting your child on the school bus, be sure to wait until after they've already boarded to lean into the bus to give some last important instruction that you had no time to give them while waiting. Then be sure to chat it up with the driver for a minute or two."

• "If you are eating or drinking as you walk, be sure to drop the container as soon as you are finished with it. It is so much harder to hang onto containers once they are empty; they might throw off your stride."

• "If you are the friend of someone who has stopped somewhere on a congested street, be sure to lean into the window with your butt hanging out into the traffic to have those important conversations. This will signal assertiveness and presence to the neighborhood."

Here are a few more rules for drivers.

• "Drivers must always slow down and cause long backups just to view the unimportant incidents way on the other side of the highway."

• "Don't forget that when there's highway traffic (still doing the speed limit or faster) you must tailgate the person in the fast lane. Then, if their safety gap is too large for your liking, you must proceed to pass them very fast on the right, cut in front of them and slam on your brakes to do the same speed, just taking their spot."

"It's snowed. There's 5 inches of white crap on your car. Just clean off the windshield and off ya go. The rest will just blow off, right?"

• "Specifically for 18-wheelers: When traffic is heavy on four-lane highways, you are required to ride in the left lane beside a fellow 18-wheel driver for at least a mile, preferably while climbing a hill."

• "Don't bother turning headlights on even in the rain or fog or at dusk as long as you think you can find the road. The important thing is the electricity you will be saving."

• "Since a parking lot is a dangerous place to drive, always use the quickest and shortest way to get to a parking place or exit, otherwise someone might run into you."
